Chances are, you\u2019ve been hearing a bit of praise for a sophisticated little motion picture doing the rounds called PACIFIC RIM. Guillermo Del Toro\u2019s latest blockbuster is big, loud and stupid amounts of fun; but it\u2019s also a giant, gushing love letter to something we here at Madman are very, fond of \u2013 Kaiju <\/b>(pron. \u201ckaiiiiiiiiiiijuuuuuu<\/i>\u201d).<\/p>\n
So what exactly is Kaiju? Please allow our very own Kaiju Kaptain, John Robertson to explain:<\/p>\n
So yeah, Kaiju is essentially giant anythings facing off against other giant somethings. Or, in other words… totally<\/b> awesome<\/b>!<\/p>\n
For the month of July (and yes, because PACIFIC RIM is hyping all things giant and \u2018fighty\u2019), we\u2019re holding an almighty Kaiju battle over at kaiju.com.au<\/b> \u2013 where mechs, giant humans, trolls and the granddaddy of Kaiju himself, Godzilla, will face off against each other until the ultimate winner emerges.<\/p>\n
Fans will be able to cast their vote for the greatest Kaiju battle and will go into the draw to win spot prizes, plus a major prize of all our Kaiju releases and a set of figurines to stage your very own Kaiju battle at home.<\/p>\n
The Madman Mighty Kaiju Battle range is also on sale, from leading retailers and www.madman.com.au<\/a>.<\/p>\n To start viewing the Mighty Kaiju Battle videos, all featuring individual introductions from John Robertson, visit www.kaiju.com.au<\/a><\/p>\n MADMAN MIGHTY KAIJU BATTLE \u2013 Individual Battle Links:\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n Battle 1 \u2013 AQUARION: http:\/\/youtu.be\/_f4JikGFbKM<\/a><\/p>\n Battle 2 \u2013 BIG MAN JAPAN: http:\/\/youtu.be\/qT_jwJuBcOo<\/a><\/p>\n Battle 3 \u2013 BROKEN BLADE: http:\/\/youtu.be\/LN458Wrse4k<\/a><\/p>\n Battle 4 \u2013 CHAW: http:\/\/youtu.be\/li5kZZC5FlE<\/a><\/p>\n Battle 5 \u2013 ESCAFLOWNE: http:\/\/youtu.be\/5a1P4KLtC7k<\/a><\/p>\n Battle 6 – EUREKA 7: http:\/\/youtu.be\/GzIVBFDBQCY<\/a><\/p>\n Battle 7 \u2013 EVANGELION: http:\/\/youtu.be\/aG5wUA5LWds<\/a><\/p>\n Battle 8 \u2013 FULL METAL PANIC!: http:\/\/youtu.be\/rI1vxAyxPM4<\/a><\/p>\n Battle 9 – GIGANTOR: http:\/\/youtu.be\/HkG6PfMsKnI<\/a><\/p>\n Battle 10 \u2013 GODZILLA: http:\/\/youtu.be\/x-WRjdBGFvE<\/a><\/p>\n Battle 11 \u2013 MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM: http:\/\/youtu.be\/JuXqqIn2c2A<\/a><\/p>\n Battle 12 \u2013 GURREN LAGANN: http:\/\/youtu.be\/HLvUU1uLmiY<\/a><\/p>\n Battle 13 \u2013 LINEBARRELS OF IRON: http:\/\/youtu.be\/F1zL69C44kg<\/a><\/p>\n Battle 14 \u2013 MACROSS PLUS: http:\/\/youtu.be\/HWlpXfcKiQc<\/a><\/p>\n Battle 15 \u2013 MONSTERS: http:\/\/youtu.be\/f0MRn3FyYLM<\/a><\/p>\n Battle 16 \u2013 SECTOR 7: http:\/\/youtu.be\/QnlmSB4sqlE<\/a><\/p>\n Battle 17 – THE HOST: http:\/\/youtu.be\/ibPqp53vL6A<\/a><\/p>\n Battle 18 – TROLL HUNTER: http:\/\/youtu.be\/kq6fMrYkHlU<\/a><\/p>\n
